selling Water. Rosy Ndumbi

[Rosy K Ndumbi]

Since all living things need water to survie, they should all be able to have clean and drinkable water. We human beings use our water to prepare food, to create a healthy hygene and to nourrish our bodies. Just like us, animals need water to nourrish their bodies, while plants also need water to grow. Selling water to people have alot of negative effects. It effects people in underdeveloped countries, the environment and animals. Some people in those underdeveloped countries cannot afford water, makig them have to use the dirty water.
Companies who sell clean water to people use purfying methods that are not good for the environnment. An example of this are dams. Evaporation made by dams causes the water to dry. Thi effects the environment because plants are not to grow. Animals become effected by this because the level watet decraeses. This makes some animals unable to have any water to drink.
All in all selling water has a lot of effects that are not good for anyone or anything.[img][/img]

I disagree with your statements.Water has many advantages and positives that will elongate the resource.By selling water it creates a barrier infront of water use.Only use water when needed.So everytime you need to use water you must pay.People will take advantage of the resource and use too much at a time and won't preserve this precious liquid.Also the purifying systems that most companies use to clean water are basically the only way to make water drinkable.How do you think water becomes sanitary?The undeveloped countries most likely don't have any money to build a sanitation plant for the water.Moreover if they don't have any money they can't pay for education which means they aren't really that smart to design a purifying system.If companies put in the service to clean water then they want to have money back in return.These companies are certainly not volunteering to help the world survive.Privatizing water becomes a privately run business which creates an equal distribution to everyone.If you give water out for free then some people will get more than others and there will likely be some confliction over this problem.How fast do you want big problems to start such as running out of water and wars over poor distribution?
